Delta McKenzie Challenger Deer
Good
Ranked #2 of 8 3d animal targets
$149.99
Delta's middle backyard buck: a bigger rack than the Intruder, same $39.99 core idea, same 16-pound additional-info weight, same 300–350 fps print. Maker height is 32 inches. Some retailers list 41 inches, which is the maker's body length, not the height — we kept the maker's 32 and wrote the clash down. Still live. Still one face on the vital.
Standout feature: Same $39.99 core as the Intruder, on a bigger printed body, for $30 more.

Scored by the published CareScore v1.1.8 methodology from manufacturer specs, June 2026.
